QUESTION POSED ON: 23 July 2004
In a LEI-polling-activity I can check the option "execute synchronously." But this only counts for the next activity in the sequence. Now I have the following constellation:

Poll -> starts activity 1
activity 1 starts activity 2
activity 2 starts activity 3

But activity 1 must not be started again before activity 3 is finished. I cannot prohibit that by checking the above mentioned flag, because after activity 1 has finished, the poll happily fires again, when the appropriate conditions are met.

So I wondered if there is a way to code a Notes script that bundles activity 1-3 in sequence, so I can place this scripted activity as the one to be triggered by the poll.

Could you please point me to a sample code on how to achieve this?

EXPERT RESPONSE
The "constellation" you have described simply goes beyond LEI's out-of-the-box capabilities. You might consider using a Scripted Activity that operates as the polling governor. That means you have to write a LotusScript agent that looks in the LEI Admin database for these activities and tests for their status, etc. The LEI Admin is just another Notes database, so take a look at how the "Start Activity" button works and the "Active" view.
